Any Baumslag-Solitar action on surfaces with a pseudo-Anosov element has a finite orbit
Abstract
We consider homeomorphims generating a faithful -action on a closed surface , that is, , for some . According to \cite{GL}, after replacing by a suitable iterate if necessary, we can assume that there exists a minimal set of the action, included in . Here, we suppose that and are in neighbourhood of and any point admits an -unstable manifold . Using Bonatti's techniques, we prove that either there exists an integer such that is included in or there is a lower bound for the norm of the differential of only depending on and the Riemannian metric on . Combining last statement with a result of \cite{AGX}, we show that any faithful action of on with a pseudo-Anosov homeomorphism has a finite orbit. As a consequence, there is no faithful -action of on the torus with an Anosov.
